BRYAN AGAINST
OWNERSHIP BY
THE GOVERNMENT
tins Newlands Committee His
. Views on Railroad Control.
COMPETITION PREFERABLE.
Federal Regulation Should Not Be Allowed
to Exclude Exercise of State
Authority, He Contends?Thinks Railroad
Stocks Should Represent Actual
Value and Be Stable as Govornment
Bonds.
Washington. Dec. 11. ? William J.
Bryan, who startled the country ten
years ago by advoeating government
ownership of railroads, appeared before
the Newlands Joint Committee on
Interstate Commerce last week in sun
port of the claim that the states should
l)e allowed it) retain authority over the
regulation of all transportation linos
within their borders. Mr. Ilryan explained
that he had long regarded government
ownership as inevitable, but
only because of railroad opposition to
effective regulation.
Against Government Ownership.
"Personally I cannot say that I de
sire government ownership," he explained,
"because I lean to the individual
idea rather than to the collective
idea; that is. I believe that government
ownership is desirable only
where competition is impossible."
Alfred 1*. Tlioin, counsel to the Railway
Executives' Advisory Committer,
previously had presented before the
members of the Newi.mds Committee
as one of his reasons for urging a better
balanced and more systematic regulation
of railroads the argument that
this is the only alternative to government
ownership. Calling attention to
"he restrictions imposed upon the
transportation lines by conflicting state
laws and regulations, to the practical
cessation of new construction and to the
impossibility uinlc?r existing conditions
of securing the new capltul needed for
extensions and betterments of railway
facilities, he warned the Congressmen
that unless they provided a fair and
reasonable system of regulation that
would enable the railroads to meet the
growing needs of the country's business
the national government would
he compelled to take over the ownership
of the lines with all the evils at- {
tendant upon such a system.
Preservation of Competition^
Bfr. Bryan, on the other hand, holds
that the further extension of federal
authority over the railroads would be
a step la the direction of government
ownership. He advanced the view that
the centralization of control In the
hands of the national government
would impose too grout a burden upon
the regulating body, would offer strong
temptation to railroads to Interfere in
politics and would encourage the general
movement toward centralization
of power In the federal government at
the expense of the states. lie said that
he did not object to consolidations of
railroad lines so long as they did not
uronvy cuui|K?tiiion, tnat lie knew of
no complaint against great railway
systems because of their size and that
he believed that the preservation of
competition was the test to he applied
to all consolidations.
i) Regulation of Securities.
Mr. Bryan declared himself in favor
of national regulation of railway stock
and bond issues, but added that he saw
no reason why that should exclude the
states from acting on the same subject
as to state corporations. "I would
like to see the stock of a railroad, as j
long as it is in private hands, made as
substantial and as unvarying as the
value of a government bond," he asserted,
I
He suggested that railroad cnpitalt- i
satfon be readjusted to equalize It with
actual valuation of the property represented,
making due allowance for
equities, and that when this was done
the roads should be allowed to earn
sulflcient Income to keep their stock
at par and to create a surplus. The j
latter, he tentatively proposed, might
tie allowed to amount to 25 per cent
of the capital.
Railway Earnings Low.
This subject of railroad capitalization
;and the amount of railroad earnings
received further attention from the
.committee during its recent sessions.
In answer to questions by Senator |
d'ununins, Mr. Thorn submitted figures
showing the net earnings of the roads
